Formed in the UK, The Members have established a worldwide fan base by touring relentlessly from the early days. The Sound of the Suburbs is a massive worldwide post punk anthem. The track Working Girl was a huge USA MTV hit.
Having conquered New Zealand and Australia in 2013 and successfully toured a new album The Members were ready for new challenges. In 2014 the band completed an amazing 30 date USA Tour (their First in 30 years) and are currently putting the finishing touches on a new album before gearing up for lots of shows in 2016 to celebrate 40 years of Punk Rock.
The Members current line-up includes three original band members, Nigel Bennett, JC Carroll and Chris Payne together with drummer Nick Cash.
Department S were part of the UK's post punk new wave movement that saw the emergence of bands like Depeche Mode, Psychedelic Furs, Gang of Four and Bauhaus. Making their live debut in 1980 they quickly gathered a reputation as a live band to see. A record contract quickly followed on Stiff Records, home in the UK of Elvis Costello. British rock legends Mott The Hoople were drafted in as producers. This lead to a number of successful singles throughout Europe and TV appearances on various nations music shows as well as live performances....the most successful single was Is Vic There which is a stalwart of just about every compilation CD produced on indie music between 1977-1982
